It was designed by François de Cuvilliés in Rococo style and constructed between 1734 and 1739 for Elector Karl Albrecht and later Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII and his wife, Maria Amalia of Austria.
In the south of the hall, the door leads to the electoral Rest Room and the Blue Cabinet, with access to the privy chamber.
[1][2] In the central niche of the eastern facade is a stucco sculpture by Johann Baptist Zimmermann, representing a scene with the hunting goddess Diana.
These vases disappeared at an unknown date but were recreated in 1992 to a design by Hans Geiger: four adorn the entrance facade; twelve, the garden side of the Amalienburg.
Since the castle could be supplied by the kitchen of Nymphenburg Palace, the Amalienburg lacks private farm buildings, unlike the other two park pavilions.
